How Raquel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Raquel uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, person-focused space where the client's experience guides the work. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, a listening ear, and a therapist who follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy offers breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes and to bring therapy into regular routines without promising a specific format.
